SeaSerpent123 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Looks like a good weekend to take the skiff offshore. This is what I know best so the target will be muttons. Anything else will be a bonus. Would love to hold a BIG wahoo on the bow of a skiff. lol Hope the weather holds for Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddyBottomBluz Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Were ya lost Dave? Usually don't here about you in those parts? I ran my old Redfisher off shore all the time. I new a guy that would run to the shipping lanes in a 13 whaler. People thought he was a piece of floating debris and make a run for him. Just pick the days! Did you go SeaSerpent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSerpent123 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 I tried to upload a shot video but couldn't. Hooked 3 reef donkeys and couldn't get them off the wreck. Also caught a big cuda. Fun times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a nice day, a day offshore can be fun....just be sure you ALWAYS HAVE TWO PEOPLE....and you are wearing a vest....a rough wave can hit you by surprise, even on a calm day, and if you standing fighting a dolphin or you are over a reef, you can easily be tossed as you have no gunnels to hold. When I had my RF18, I used to go off Eliott Key and do a bit of yellow tailing on a calm day.... dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanaflatsfish Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Love the wife commenting on the price of the $$$ of the jig....never let the Admiral know the price of fishing gear Also, just curious, why didn't you have the trolling motor down on spot lock ? dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Had to download VLC to open the MOV file. Looks like you had a nice fish on, good first run, then had things going your way and then suddenly maybe an upgrade..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple other skiffs out there had the same issue so we all just made passes which worked the best. Had another one on and tied pulling it off with the boat to no avail. Not a single person caught one, we all lost fish after fish or broke rods. Yes, I say another boat break his rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
